In addition to thinking of simple foods for this year's holiday entertaining, I've also been working on some fun food gifts that my kids can make for those on their Christmas list this year (think teachers, hockey coaches and guitar teachers).
We have thoughtfully read cookbooks, perused the internet, clipped from magazines and searched our own creative minds for some possibilities. And while I can't exactly share what we've decided to do this year (it would spoil some precious gifts!), I can offer up some fun ideas that we considered. Each of these items can be packaged in cello wrap, gift bags or a mason jar, tied with ribbon and tagged with a homemade card:
And last but not least, an awesome collection of ideas can be found here. (I making a few things from this list but don't tell anyone!!)
i'll put it on my to do list.

With the festive season of Christmas closing in many of us take the calm organized approach in knowing exactly what your loved ones and friends wish for. The gifts are probably already wrapped, tagged and stored away, waiting for the 25th to hopefully bring a little joy and big smile to the recipient’s face. Others find this yearly ritual stressful and are probably too busy with their hectic life styles that for them the best way to cope is to do the mad dash for gifts on Christmas Eve. Whichever method of choice works best for you, there is still that decision in making your selection a fitting one for the lucky person in question. Once those gifts are purchased it’s just fingers crossed that duplicate items from other folk are not making their way under the tree. We all want to give and receive something special and different, not the run of the mill pair of socks that you mischievously rewrapped for your dad as an extra little prezzy.
